If this happens simply give them an additional short period of drying. 7 Laundry GB Special clothing items Blankets and Bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan, Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special care on LOW heat setting. Pleated or creased garments: read the manufacturer’s drying instructions on the garment. Starched articles: do not dry these with non-starched items. Make sure that as much of the starch solution is removed from the load as possible before placing it in the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will become powdery and leave your clothing limp, which defeats the purpose of starch. Times are approximate and can vary depending upon: q Amount of water retained in clothes after spin cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water. Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but different textures and thicknesses may not have the same drying time. Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads may take longer to dry. Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit damp. Others can be left longer if you need them to be completely dry. Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to dry your clothes. Bulk: some bulky items can be tumble dried with care. We suggest that you remove these items several times, shake them out, and return them to the dryer until finished. Q q q q Drying times q The table below presents APPROXIMATE drying times in minutes. [. . . ] The water container was probably not emptied at the start of the programme. Do not wait for the empty water signal, always check and empty the container before starting a new drying programme (see Maintenance). This is normal, the light flashes when the container is full. If the light is on but not flashing it is just a reminder to empty the container (see Start and Programmes). [. . . ]
